It was January 5th, year 2012. The audience was huge. The people was screaming. "Yanyan!!" "We love you!!" "Marry me Luo Yang!!" "Yanyan and Luo forever!" The stage was abnormally huge. There was no wall above and behind the stage. It was open and the sweet moonlight was gently hitting our backs while we were facing the curteins waiting for them to open. The crowd was excited but I was nervous although I had done this millions of times before. Luo noticed my anxiety. He turned his head and looked at me. "Don't worry Yan." he whispered to me "I'm here." Then he smiled. "Thank you Luo." I smiled, feeling a little bit better. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WE PRESENT YOU.... THE "MOONLIGHT DANCERS!" The curteins fell. It started. I felt my body taken away by the rythm as I was dancing under the moon. It was huge. We danced again, just like the first time, but this time we were more experienced. Luo grabbed me from the waist for the ending figure. The magical music was caressing my ears. My eyes were twinkling and my golden dress was sparkling. Luo was smiling at my but was also focused at the music. Everything was like a dream. I closed my eyes as I put all my trust in Luo. He picked me up and and holded me high with one arm. His palm was lifting me up by the stomach. Our figures were magical. Neither of us ever thought about falling or losing control because we fully trusted each other. We were indeed the "Moonlight dancers".

5 years later

- Yanyan. Yanyan... Yanyan!!

- Uh?! Oh... yes. Sorry Yaoyao. I fell asleep.

- It's okay Yanyan... Um.. you...called the name "Luo Yang" in your dream. What were you dreaming about?

[ Yanyan: - Oh right. I was dreaming about mine and Luo Yang's last dance performance together. ]

There was silence for a few minutes. Then, the silence broke when Yaoyao said:

- Yanyan...

- Yes?

- Have you ever thought about... starting ballet again?

Yanyan didn't say anything. She just slowly lowered her head and her face expression changed to a more regretful and sadder. Yaoyao noticed that, then quickly said:

- I'm sorry Yanyan.… Do you want to eat something?

- It's okay Yaoyao. Let's go to dinner together.

Yanyan forced a smile on her face.

They left Yaoyao's house and went for lunch.

Yanyan was deep in thoughts during her lunch with Yaoyao. Yaoyao noticed that.

[ Yaoyao: - Yanyan, is it really Luo Yang that you are thinking about? I hope you aren't. I don't want you to get hurt again... ]

Although Yaoyao was trying to protect Yanyan, she couldn't decide for her. Yanyan will have to make her own desicions. But, will she make the right ones??

The next day

Yanyan was sitting in the living room of her home. She was printing of resumes for jobs. They were mostly secretary jobs or employee at companies. But Yaoyao's words couldn't get out of her head. Maybe she should be a ballet dancer again?? Maybe she should follow her dream? To become a ballet dancer was her dream from when she was 4 years old. And when she was 6 years old she started going to a ballet school. She was so happy. It was like a dream come true. Actually it WAS a dream that came true. After so many years of ballet her career was destroyed in one night. A the money she spent, the effort she put in, the lessons she took, the hard practice she did, all were destroyed. It was her most horrible nightmare. She fell from the heavens to hell. The night that was supposed to be an unforgettable amazing memory, turned out to be an unforgettable terrifying, imbaresing nightmare. She thought of all these and started crying. But she quickly wiped of her tears and continued to print of her resumes. The phone rang. The number was unknown. She picked it up.

- Hello? ,she said

- Hello? Yanyan? Is that you?

She dropped the phone shocked. It wad Luo Yang.

- Hello? Yanyan? Hello?

She collapsed and started crying. The phone was next to her. Luo Yang continued talking.

- Yanyan, please talk to me. I'm so sorry Yanyan. Please say something.

Yanyan didn't say anything. She continued to cry. Luo Yang couldn't hear her crying through the phone. That moment, someone knocked on the door. It was Yaoyao. She entered Yanyan's house.

- Hey Yanyan. Sorry to come in like this. it's just that I have a spare key to your apart... YANYAN??!!

She looked at Yanyan and then noticed the phone on the floor. She recognized the voice.

- Luo Yang you jerk! Why are you calling Yanyan?!! Do not call her again! You haven't seen each other in 5 years and now you suddenly decide to give her a call??!!

- Yaoyao? Wait! Yaoya... *Biiiiip*

Yaoyao hang up the phone. Then she sat down and hugged Yanyan.

- Are you alright Yanyan?

- I'm... I'm fine. ,she said in a shaky voice and her head looking down.

- Luo Yang...he...

- It's okay Yaoyao. You don't have to worry.

- But...he...

Yanyan turned her head towards Yaoyao and smiled, interrupting her. Her eyes were closed but Yaoyao could see that they were still red, teary and swollen. She didn't say anything. There was silence and it was raining. The two friends were sitting on the floor hugging. Then Yaoyao broke that silence by saying:

- Yanyan, I know there's something you're not telling me.

Yanyan didn't respond.

- What exactly happened that day 5 years ago?

- Yaoyao... one day, I will tell you everything. it's just that that day hasn't come yet. One day you will understand. Trust me. Please, okay?

- …okay. I trust you Yanyan. But please don't make me worry again. It's like taking care of a baby when I'm taking care of you. ,she laughed.

Yanyan chuckled.

They looked at each other and started laughing. They forgot about the pain. They left it in the past for a few minutes. They laughed and forgot all their problems and difficulties. They were… happy.
